On 15 and 16 October 2026, a crawler that said it belonged to Roblox walked through almost every project on Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase, and proceeded to download complete copies of 1,027 files from 712 projects. 145.5 GB of our creators' work, downloaded for what we assume are AI training purposes.

  1. Fuck roblox and everyone who allows their child onto that cesspool of a service.
  2. I can only hope they scraped NSFW content to improve their anti-adult filters/checks. Like, "Ok bot, these are porn, we dont want porn, if you find things like this and ban it you get plus 5 points". I assume the non NSFW stuff was for noise and to throw off any sort of meta tags theyd have in common (or, to prevent DRM content)

Yeah because I really want to match with people who use ROBLOX as a dating platform. That's exactly this sort of person I want to go out on a date with.
